This is a 96 week study to determine if UK- 453,061 in combination with Truvada is as efficacious, safe and tolerable as efavirenz in combination with Truvada in HIV-1 infected patients who have not been previously treated with antiretroviral drugs.

A Phase 2B Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Comparative Trial Of UK-453,061, In Combination With Tenofovir Df And Emtricitabine Versus Efavirenz In Combination With Tenofovir DF And Emtricitabine For The Treatment Of Antiretroviral-Naive HIV-1 Infected Subjects

For the log 10 scale, all the HIV-1 RNA levels were log 10 transformed prior to the average calculations. Baseline value was calculated as the average of all the measurements collected prior to and including Day 1 pre-dose.

TAD was calculated as area under the curve of HIV-1 RNA levels (log10 copies/mL) from baseline to the time point of interest divided by time period in weeks minus baseline HIV-1 RNA level (log10 copies/mL). Baseline value was calculated as the average of all the measurements collected prior to and including Day 1 pre-dose.

TLOVR50 response is compliment to TLOVR50 failure. TLOVR50 failure based on observed HIV-1 RNA levels and failure events (death; permanent discontinuation of drug; lost to follow-up; met treatment failure [TF] criteria). TF: an increase to at least 3 times baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA level at Week 2 or thereafter; failure to achieve HIV-1 RNA level <50 copies/mL at Week 24; starting at Week 2, an increase in HIV-1 RNA level to detectable levels (>50 copies/mL). TF criteria's defined above were confirmed by second measurement at least 14 days after first. In 'TLOVR50', '50' denotes the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of assay (which is 50 copies/mL). Baseline value was calculated as the average of all the measurements collected prior to and including Day 1 pre-dose.

Baseline value was calculated as the average of all the measurements collected prior to and including Day 1 pre-dose.

Number of Participants With NRTI and NNRTI Resistance-Associated Mutations (RAMs) at Time of Treatment Failure Through Week 24, 48 and 96 [ Time Frame: Day 1 (pre-dose) through Week 24, 48, 96 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Phenotypic resistance and genotypic resistance was assessed for all participants at Day 1 predose, and was evaluated for nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), and non-NRTIs (NNRTIs) resistance-associated mutations at time of treatment failure using Monogram GenoSeq and/or PhenoSenseGT assays. This was then repeated for all participants with HIV-1 viral load more than 500 copies/mL at treatment failure, up to Week 96.

Number of Participants With Laboratory Test Abnormalities [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 96 or early termination ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Laboratory analysis included hematology, blood chemistry, serum and urine pregnancy test, hepatitis testing and urinalysis. Laboratory values that met the criteria of the Division of Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome (DAIDS) grade 1 (mild, symptoms causing no or minimal interference with usual social and functional activities) or greater were considered as abnormal.

Data for this outcome measure are not reported here because the analysis population includes participants who were not enrolled in this study. ClinicalTrials.gov is designed for reporting results from only those participants who were enrolled in the study and described in the participant flow and baseline characteristics modules.

AUC (0-24)= Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to 24 hours post-dose (0-24). Only participants from Lersivirine treatment arms were planned to be analyzed for Pharmacokinetic (PK) sub-study.

Male or female at least 18 years of age available for a follow-up period of at least 96 weeks.

HIV 1 RNA viral load of greater then 1,000 copies/mL

Negative urine pregnancy test.

Exclusion Criteria:

Suspected or documented active, untreated HIV-1 related opportunist infection or other condition requiring acute therapy at the time of randomization.

Subjects with acute Hepatitis B and/or C within 30 days of randomization.

Absolute CD4 count <200 cells/mm3.
